What's New in SeaMonkey 1.1

This document outlines a few of the new features implemented in SeaMonkey
1.1, important bugfixes and any new problems. See the
"rough changelog" for a more comprehensive
list of 1.1 fixes. Please note that these changes are relative to
SeaMonkey 1.0.7.

[Linux, Mac] New mail notification has been improved
(Bug 327613,
305384, and others)

Address Book

It is now possible to move or copy cards between address books. Cards can only be copied to mailing lists, so you need to use ctrl key while dragging to copy the card to the mailing list. When dragging cards between address books, the default action is move, use ctrl to copy instead. (Bug 35837)

These are items that have been added to the Known Issues page
since the last release (SeaMonkey 1.0.7),
although the bugs themselves may have existed previously.

General

[Windows] If you used the installer, automatic detection of character sets is missing from the character encoding menu. This is due to a missing DLL (universalchardet.dll) and will be fixed in SeaMonkey 1.1.1 (Bug 368264).

[Windows] Sending documents as an e-mail attachment from within Excel or Word (applications which use MAPI) may not work. Workaround: in a command prompt, go to the SeaMonkey installation directory and run "regsvr32 MapiProxy.dll"
(Bug 361233).

Notification of new mail may fail when some messages are spam. This is believed to only affect Windows 95, and not newer versions.
(Bug 365180).

After installing a new dictionary, you may need to move it from the
components/myspell directory to the dictionaries directory. This should not
be needed for dictionaries from
Mozilla Addons,
which work out-of-the-box with SeaMonkey 1.1

Attempting to compose, forward, or reply to a message may result in a
non-functional compose window. To work around it, open a new compose window,
close the new window, and then close non-functional one. If you try again, it
will work. (Bug
307672 - this bug was present in SeaMonkey 1.0.x as well)
